RED Mountain Snow School

Log cabin between the Magic Carpet and Silverlode Chairlift

Ski LessonsSnowboard LessonsKids Programs

RED Mountain Snow School checks guests in at its log cabin between the Magic Carpet and Silverlode Chairlift. Guests should arrive 5–10 minutes early; Kinderski offers ski lessons for ages 3–5 plus an optional daycare-and-private-lesson package.

Why we like it

For a young child’s first lesson, the Kinderski age band and optional daycare combination make planning easier. Aim for the log cabin between the Magic Carpet and Silverlode Chairlift, with time to check in before the lesson.

RED Sports Locals All-Season Rental Pass

South side of the Day Lodge, RED Mountain

Rentals

RED Sports’ Locals All-Season Rental Pass provides unlimited regular-equipment rentals through the season for local skiers and riders. The program uses the rental shop on the south side of the Day Lodge.

Why we like it

A practical option for a local who needs gear repeatedly without owning a setup. Call ahead to have the pass equipment ready, and confirm eligibility and the season’s terms before purchasing.

Pro Tip: Book Early

Lessons and rentals at popular resorts often book up quickly, especially during peak season and holidays. We recommend booking at least 1–2 weeks in advance to secure your preferred times.
